China Tour 2013
2013 Gate1 tour of Beijing, Xi'an, and Shanghai. In May, 2013 35 tourists flew from Los Angeles to Beijing, China to start a 10-day tour of China. In Beijing, we visited the Palace Museum (Forbidden City), Summer Palace, the Great Wall, and the giant pandas at the Beijing Zoo. Next, in Xian, we visited the Terracotta Warriors Museum. Then we went to Shanghai, where we had a tour of the city and an optional boat ride at night. A second day we took an optional tour to nearby Suzhou where we rode sampans on the one of the many canals. Finally we returned to Beijing and Los Angeles. Along the way we visited several beautiful gardens and had interesting shopping opportunities for jade, carpets, silk embroidery, other silk products, and lacquered furniture. An added bonus was the opportunity to meet new friends who also enjoy traveling to new places and having new experiences.
